Game: Things seen or heard at work
 
This game was suggested after I commented in this thread about my kind of work.

How it works:
You put down things that would commonly be seen or heard at your workplace to give hints about what your job is. Everyone else tries to figure it out, then someone else gives their description when it's figured out.

Note: No thread-searching! (Same for Facebook, Myspace, etc.)

Example:
A: I see odd black cars and well-dressed people all the time. I also see boxes and hear music.
B: Rock star?
C: Undertaker. I see... and hear...

To start:
I hear "Gas right, brake left, no bumping, stop at the red light, GO!", or some variation thereof a lot, and say it a quite bit of the time. Also heard over the radio: "U-Turn!" "Barrel!" "Teardrop!" "First turn, first camera!" "#5!" "Half-speed #7!" "Got some customers here that want to ride the Euros." "Front counter, front counter"--"Front counter, go ahead."

If I said what I see (other than lots of people), it would give the job away. What do I work as?

Edit: Richard and Chris are both wrong, though Richard is closer.
Edit 2: I also see a lot of cars going by on the I-405, if I have a breather to pay attention to them.

OK, as the inagural guess....

You work on at the Autotopia ride at Disneyland

Google is telling me to guess that he works on the Avalon Boulevard Interchange Improvement Project.

Go Karts?


Edit: So since i got it correct, is it my turn for you all to find my job? I bet it would last days...

Yep, go-karts, right off the I-405 and Carson. There's about 6 tracks, and I'm on one of them all shift. The various sayings that didn't make sense (like "Barrel!" and "Teardrop!") are turns on the tracks that people sometimes get stuck on. And if it's "Teardrop!" we hope it isn't a 2-seater stuck up there... The Euros are extra-fast karts; the "Front counter" call is usually heard if someone is taking a break or found somebody's iPhone in a kart.

Chris, you should have checked Recreation Road, Carson, CA. It's one exit south of the Avalon project.
